Schopp and The Bulldog.

Sports talk should be entertaining and informative which is why Mike Schopp and the Bulldog control the WGR 550 airwaves every weekday from 3 to 7 pm.

Chris 'The Bulldog' Parker bleeds Buffalo and is as passionate about the Sabres and Bills as any listener to our radio station. Mike Schopp not only keeps the callers in line and dishes out his own opinions on the Buffalo sports scene, creates on-air fantasy drafts of anything from U.S. Presidents to sports announcers and is the station’s sports trivia expert.

Weekly guests include ESPN's John Clayton Thursdays at 5pm during football season, Rob Ray on weeknight Sabres game days at 4 and Sabres General Manager Tim Murray at 5:30 when the Sabres play at home on Fridays.

Also, make sure you check WGR550.com for Bulldog’s column every Tuesday and Mike Schopp’s commentary every Thursday.

I've watched the last two Bills games from a bar. For the first of them, the Thursday night game in Miami, the place was very busy. A friend of mine is a bartender there, and at halftime, with the Bills leading 6-3, he had a minute to chat.

"What do you think so far?", he asked me.

"I think whatever we're going to care about from this game hasn't happened

Twenty-two Sabres games to go and the quest for last place and Captain Generational McEichel is far from over. The gap was eight points but now it's five and Edmonton and Arizona still can't (won't?) pull away. The NHL trade deadline is in six days, a last chance of sorts for teams to spin off expiring veterans for future maybes.

The Sabres are the worst National Hockey League team imaginable. They are last in almost every category -- goals, goals allowed, power play, Corsi, Fenwick, you name it. The fact that they are 29th out of 30 in penalty killing gets rewarded here with its own sentence.

The one thing we were sure of after last year's 52-point effort -- 21 wins in 82 tries -- is that this season's team

We like how they sound but they don't mean much. That's how I'd sum up the words Rex Ryan's been using to describe his feelings on the Bills team he just inherited. Everyone can tell he's got a lot of confidence, and experience, but a peek at his Jets record doesn't make him out to be too different than other recent Bills hires. (Dick Jauron was 36-49 upon being hired

So he wanted all season to leave, or he didn't. So they wanted him to stay, or they didn't. So he restricted Sammy Watkins' productivitiy to spite Doug Whaley, or Doug Marrone didn't. So they want people of their choosing in the organization's biggest jobs, or Terry and Kim Pegula don't.

However it all went down, here we are: the Bills' new owners are out in the

You don't have to tell me. I know that I stretched things here. But your telling me is part of makes this special relationship we have so grand. So, please, do tell me how bad this list is. Tell everyone you know, in fact.

Here we have a list of 10 candidates to be the 2015 Buffalo Bills opening-day starting quarterback, ranked from least to most likely:

The Sabres' first 10 games this season were astonishingly bad, even for a team with these low expectations. Called a "Pee-Wee team" by their own coach, publicly. Deadfish home losses to Anaheim and Boston. Ten shots on goal against Toronto.

The conversation seemed over almost as soon as it had begun: The Buffalo Sabres will finish last.
